In

general the quality of education in both schools and courses is low and we are not satisfied with the achieved result.” Rahimi included:" since Hamed Karzay’s period till now the literacy deputy along with its national and international partners has educated around 40% but 60% of citizens remained illiterate due to insecurity and poverty in the country, from the total budget of Ministry of Education we have only one percent which is very low comparing to the needs of Literacy section.”
